B. Singh (Ex. IES) CMD, MADE EASY Group
ear Students, The Questions of GATE 2014 : ME are based on fundamental and basic concepts of the syllabus. There is no ambigu-
ity and misprint noticed till now, however, it is an observation based on students feedback. The level and standard of GATE 2014 questions are relatively easier than the exam of GATE 2013. There are 3 important observations made by me about GATE 2014 exam.
1.
The GATE exam 2014 has been conducted in 4 seatings. The questions were different in each session and difficulty level of questions were also different from session to session. The paper of 16th Feb. evening session were relatively tougher than rest three sessions, however it varies on the perception of person to person also.
The average marks on all the papers should be equated and necessary scaling criteria should be adopted for this purpose.
2.
The GATE 2014 cut off is expected to be slightly higher than previous year. The cut-off may vary between 27-30 marks (General Category). Total Marks obtained by all the candidates GATE Cutoff = Total number of candidates GATE cutoff < | 25 Marks
3.
In my opinion the toppers marks of GATE-2014 would be between 85 to 90 marks.

If you have more questions (except from this paper) of GATE 2014 : ME, then kindly mail it to: madeeeasydelhi@gmail.com Note: Please do mention name, mobile no, date & session of exam, while sending the mail. You may also submit directly (in handwritten format) at MADE EASY Kalu Sarai Office. Dear Students, MADE EASY has taken due care in collecting the data and questions. Since questions are submitted by students and are memory based, therefore the chances of error can not be ruled out. Therefore MADE EASY takes no responsibility for the errors which might have incurred.
